The Christmas Bazaar



I worked a local Christmas Bazaar today and met so many crafters. Such an eclectic mix of women and men, with talents like collecting sports memorabilia, handmade jewlery, quilting, crocheting, knitting, grapevine wreath designs, and the woman next to me that was so resourceful she recycled everything into an article of clothing. She made a purse from a wool sweater that she accidentally shrunk. Her apron was made from a pair of jeans.  She made beautiful quilted sweatshirt jackets, quilted table runners, wall hangings.  Her work was beautiful and it was lovely to spend the day next to her and some of the other crafters.
This is a big stretch for me to go out and do this alone.  I have suffered from Agoraphobia for so long, I had stopped doing anything that took me away from home for long, but I really enjoyed today and hope to do many more.
It was funny, the woman in the picture was on my right and her name was Judy and the woman on my left was named Martha, both are the names of my two sisters, and yet...there are no coincidences.
Martha made beautiful wreaths, and small portable decorated Christmas trees.  She had adorable little pins she made of out of fake fur of Elmo"s face.  The young kids loved them.  She gave me a little tree to hang my angel ornaments on, which made the display more appealing.  I learned something form both women and thoroughly enjoyed spending the day next to them.
The picture of the apron above and the woman that makes the jackets can be reached at memerenum1@comcast.net and her business is called Fun Designs by Judy.
It was a great day and I will be happy to put what I learned to use for my next fair or bazaar.
